If you does not have to install oracle version of java8 (you just need some java), try installing it with: sudo apt update && sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk. Message you got means that apt doesn't know about oracle-java8-installer package that you are trying to install, in other word it doesn't have the repository from which it can download it.
